Competitions

The Athletics WA’s Strive Track and Field Committee is responsible for programming and conducting of the Interclub Track & Field Competition in accordance with the IAAF and Athletics Australia Rules, and other rules as laid down by Athletics WA.

Competition Uniform

Competition Uniform

You must wear without exception the Melville ROAR competition top and black shorts or bike style running pants. You will not be allowed to compete if you are not wearing the correct Melville ROAR uniform and this will be strictly enforced. To purchase a top email seniors-uniforms@melvilleroar.com.

Spikes

To maximise performance and prevent damage to the Mondo surface, athletes must not use sharp spikes that will penetrate the surface. The only spikes permitted for use on the track are of the Christmas Tree and Pyramid shape variety as pictured below. The composition of the spike, i.e. ceramic or metal, is irrelevant and will not be monitored.

For all training and competition the spikes must conform to the below rules;

Track spikes must not exceed 7mm

Field spikes must not exceed 9mm except for javelin & high jump which must not exceed 12mm

Athletes will need to register with Athletics WA, selecting Melville ROAR as the Club. Entries for weekly events close at midday the day prior to the competition.

You can collect your registration number from the Athletics WA office or on the day of competition itself. If collecting on competition day, please allow plenty of time for this to be done before your event. A competition flat fee of $20 (as many events as you wish) is payable at the time of competition registration for registered Melville athletes.
